Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to any Web sites produced by Advanced Cardiology Institute, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and any Web sites or Web pages created and managed by a medical practice through the Advanced Cardiology Institute physician practice Web site service. Advanced Cardiology Institute, Inc. has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. This Web site provides cardiovascular related health information and resources. We understand that health is a personal and private matter, and we do not want you to have to be concerned about the security or use of any information you provide to us. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the Web site, Advanced Cardiology Institute.

While our philosophy will not change, the details of the policy will change over time as we add additional services and form relationships with new business partners. Please refer back to this page periodically. The date the policy was last revised will always appear at the top of the policy pages.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of Advanced Cardiology Institute-powered Web sites, your dealings with Advanced Cardiology Institute, or would like to provide comments, please contact us.

This Policy applies only when you are within the Advanced Cardiology Institute-powered environment and only to information that Advanced Cardiology Institute collects. Please be advised that individual medical practices with Advanced Cardiology Institute-powered Web sites are the legal owners of those Advanced Cardiology Institute-powered sites and can customize their sites in two ways that fall outside the scope of the Advanced Cardiology Institute Privacy and Confidentiality Policy:

A medical practice could put a link on its site that takes you to a site or service that is not part of the Advanced Cardiology Institute-powered environment. Once there, you will no longer be interacting with a Advanced Cardiology Institute server, and you should no longer see any Advanced Cardiology Institute trademarks or legends that refer to Advanced Cardiology Institute. If you leave the Advanced Cardiology Institute-powered environment in this way, you can no longer be assured that the operator of the other site or service will follow the privacy policies and information security practices that are described in the Advanced Cardiology Institute policy. We generally strive to provide buffer pages to inform you when you are leaving our environment, but we cannot monitor all site customizations made by individual medical practices.

Within borders bearing a Advanced Cardiology Institute trademark, a practice might publish online forms that ask you to provide information, which is then sent directly to the practice via e-mail (instead of sending it to a database on a Advanced Cardiology Institute server). Advanced Cardiology Institute has no control over information collected in this manner.

If you ever have reason to believe that a medical practice has used its Advanced Cardiology Institute-powered Web site to obtain information that it has used inappropriately, please contact us at physicianservices@Advanced Cardiology Institute.com.

We collect and use activity statistics so we can understand the ways in which our sites and services are being utilized. We also provide this data, stripped of all personal identifiers, to the individual medical practices and physicians that publish Advanced Cardiology Institute-powered Web sites. Activity related data is stored anonymously and it is only used in the form of aggregated statistics. This aggregated, anonymous data may also be shared with business partners. Activity related data cannot be used to target you with solicitations of any kind.

We use cookies to establish and sustain login sessions with browsers and for other supporting purposes. Other sites cannot use cookies created by our sites, and we do not use cookies to track your activities outside of our own sites. A cookie is a small text file residing on a user’s computer system that Web sites use to recognize a user. The cookies we use do not contain personally identifiable information. At its simplest, cookie technology works by carrying a unique ID generated by the server that creates the cookie. A cookie does not pose a threat to the computer that accepts it. Cookies can enhance your Web-surfing experience in a variety of ways, but they can also be used to monitor your online activities.

The Company collects IP addresses in order to conduct system administration, report aggregate information to partners, sponsors and advertisers, and to conduct site analysis. To maintain visitor anonymity, the Company does not associate IP addresses with records containing personal information.

Because we recognize that your is a personal matter, the Company will not provide names, e-mail addresses or other personally identifiable information to its advertisers, sponsors or partners without the explicit permission of the user.

None of our sites or services are directed at children, and we make every reasonable effort to ensure that we do not accept personal information from persons under 13 years of age.

Advanced Cardiology Institute cooperates with law enforcement inquiries as a matter of policy. We will use IP addresses and other available information to attempt to identify a user when we are legally compelled to do so or when we feel it is necessary to protect our services, sites, customers, or others.

Unfortunately, no data protection method or combination of methods can be guaranteed 100 percent secure. We strive to protect your personal information as described throughout this policy, but we cannot ensure or warrant our ability to do so. As a result, you use Advanced Cardiology Institute content, products, and services at your own risk. Advanced Cardiology Institute will not be liable for disclosures of your personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.
